Abstract
An apparatus for wirelessly transferring charging power is provided. The apparatus comprises a ferrite structure. The apparatus comprises a first coil comprising a first conductor wound in a first layer at an outer side of the first coil and wound in a first plurality of stacked layers on an inner side of the first coil. At least one layer of the first plurality of stacked layers on the inner side of the first coil is recessed into the ferrite structure. The apparatus comprises a second coil comprising a second conductor wound in a second layer at an outer side of the second coil and wound in a second plurality of stacked layers on an inner side of the second coil. At least one layer of the second plurality of stacked layers on the inner side of the second coil recessed into the ferrite structure.
